You carry your worth so gracefully and powerfully. It’s hard *not* to notice how you own your wild creativity in the arts and in business. Were you just born like that? Or did you have to re-learn how utterly radiant of a being you are and re-teach yourself that you are worth showing up in your power? First of all, thank you! That is such a nice reflection. Making art has always been my go-to happy place. I do believe I was born with this innate and insatiable desire to create, so whether it was seaweed jewelry, clay pots or paintings, I always had my hands in a creative project as a kid. Thankfully, I also had parents and teachers that encouraged…

Have you always had a strong sense of your worth? I think deep down, yes. But like any diamond in the rough or undiscovered gold mine- I’m still excavating that self worth. I think self worth builds up overtime. As we grow and mature. Our life experiences can either encourage a strong sense of self worth or destroy it and I am too stubborn to let anything destroy my worth. Did it come easy and natural for you or have you had to cultivate your sense of self worth? My garden of self worth has been a mess of rocks and weeds. I’ve had to add a lot of good shit to the soil in order to get things growing. And continual care of…

1. Being a glorious divine self care mentor, what does worth have to do with self care? Is it a result of self-care? Or something that must be owned before one can care for the self? Or do they just happen together? I’ve thought about this question often, especially with the women I work with both on retreats and in my programs. I’ve wondered … do you need to generate a bit of self-worth to truly take deep soul level care of your mind, body and soul. Or, is it that you need to have a full well of self-worth in order to awaken the confidence to own your time, your voice and your truth so you can CLAIM what you need. …

If anything, what stands between you and your worth? What are the stories you tell yourself that often stop you from fully owning your worth? Hmm. It’s an interesting question about worth, because what immediately comes up for me is another question: what is worth & what is value? So, maybe I’ll start with a finer distinction for myself here between the two. Value is more something that you offer to other people, while worth is something I experience internally. For whatever reasons, I think I’ve always had a pretty good sense of my worth. My bigger struggle has been with expressing the value of the potential self I feel pressing inside me. There’s an apocryphal quote from Leonardo da Vinci on his…

Is a strong awareness of self worth something that’s come easy and natural for you or have you had to cultivate it? It’s definitely not something that has been easy for me. Growing up in a household packed with “world class artists” and “ultra high achievers” left me feeling lost and not particularly valuable — especially as a teenager and in my early twenties. It took time — and lots of awkward self-discovery — to change my attitude. Why do you think that is? Here’s my backstory: I was born into a family where everyone seemed to have everything “figured out.” (This wasn’t 100% accurate, but as a child, that’s how it looked and felt to me.) My mom always wanted…

There’s such a deep sense of purpose emanating from you as though your worth is so intricately tied up with your mission that having a clear and strong relationship to your worth is a non-negotiable. Is this so? Well I appreciate that, first of all. Knowing that you feel the resonance between my work and my soul. That alignment is my mission. I seek to help people facilitate a deep connection with their innermost knowing and from there, to trust it deeply enough to act upon it. As long as we’re mortal (and as far as I know, we all are) our sense of worth will waiver. It’s human nature to question and doubt ourselves, our power, our work, our actions, our…

You always inspire me with your fresh and open expression of your spiritual path. How does having and giving a voice to spirit contribute to owning Worth? It is so important to me to give voice to Spirit and I am so thankful for the platform that I have to do that, I do not take that blessing lightly. I give a voice to Spirit because I can not stand to see others suffer. I don’t like to suffer either. None of us need to suffer with so many of the things we suffer with…like not feeling worthy and feeling the need to earn a place of worthiness through massive amounts of ambiguous rules that seem to change with every…

WHAT’S THE STORY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO TAROT? WAS IT THE ART THAT BROUGHT YOU TO CARDS OR THE CARDS THAT BROUGHT YOU TO ART? OR DIDYOU SOMEHOW MEET ON THE EDGE OF BOTH? Oh definitely the artwork led me to the tarot! Drawing the deck gave me a relationship and understanding of the cards that I don’t think I could’ve found by just using another deck out there… I spent a long while trying to find a deck I felt connected to, and then I finally realized I had to draw one for myself. WHAT’S SOME OF YOUR PROCESS IN CREATING THE IMAGES OF THE CARDS? DO YOU HAVE RITUAL OR JUST SPONTANEOUS INSPIRATION? WHAT’S EITHER OR BOTH OF THOSE LOOK…

Interview with Kim Krans of The Wild Unknown Tarot What’s the story of your relationship to tarot? Was it the art that brought you to cards or the cards that brought you to art? Or did you somehow meet on the edge of both? Oh definitely the artwork led me to the tarot! Drawing the deck gave me a relationship and understanding of the cards that I don’t think I could’ve found by just using another deck out there… I spent a long while trying to find a deck I felt connected to, and then I finally realized I had to draw one for myself. What’s some of your process in creating the images of the cards? Do you have ritual or just spontaneous inspiration? What’s either or both…
